The only other one I know of is the snap kit by AMT. It's 1/25 and has a little better proportions. But, would take more work to make it a full detail.

im sure its just the picture, but that one, and the MPC snap (which i think is the same kit) look very toy like. not sure why it doesnt look like a realistic truck. i have the monogram one in my stash, and i am not sure why i didnt build it. 

 

i think i will need to use the snap one though if that is the only other one. i am putting it next to another 1/25 kit.

 

thanks

The MPC didn't look right to me either until I figured out it's because I'm used to seeing the half top and it's a full top. The sunroof and light holes didn't help either. I filled the roof holes on mine but now I want to cut the front off where the half top starts and put on most of the cab from the Deserter.

There's also a Revell snap one in 1/25. It has fender flares in it.

That's the pickup. They did also make a Blazer with the big fender flares.

Are the fender flares molded in?

Yes, Pass on the Revell snap kits. They are far too simplified and not all that great, to be honest.

Plenty of details here:

Thank you. I will see if i can find the amt/mpc snap cheap. Currently the snaps are going for like 50 dollars on Ebay. That is 2x higher than I am willing to pay for this. I really just wanted it for my diorama with my bronco and van, but i think i will change the idea. Plus if i can find it cheaper later, i can switch out trucks
